A method is disclosed for rendering humic acid bearing particulates substantially free of dust. An aqueous solution that includes one of a caustic humate and a caustic soda is prepared and mixed with humic acid bearing particulates in a concentration and for a duration such that an adhesive humate gel forms about the particulates. The gel causes adjoining particulates to bind together. The mixture is allowed to dry such that the mixture is substantially free of dust-size particulates.
